Raiders tight end Jared Cook will attend his first Pro Bowl after his 10th NFL season, replacing Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in the annual all-star showcase.

Cook led the Raiders with a career-high 896 receiving yards and six touchdowns. He finished fourth among tight ends in receiving yards and tied for fourth in touchdowns. Kelce and Colts tight end Eric Ebron were initially named as the AFC’s Pro Bowl tight ends, with Kelce amassing 1,336 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns, and Ebron tallying 750 receiving yards and a league-high 13 touchdowns among tight ends.

After saying he’d launch an investigation if Cook didn’t make the Pro Bowl, Raiders coach Jon Gruden reflected on his best pass-catcher’s “snub.”

“Just very disappointed, obviously,” Gruden said. “You can’t fault Kelce for making a Pro Bowl. I saw him at close range, too. I think Eric Ebron has 12 touchdowns. So if you’re going to lose out, you might as well lose out to two guys that had stellar seasons. (Cook is) a Pro Bowler in my book.”

Cook will enter unrestricted free agency this offseason, and Gruden said re-signing Cook is atop his offseason priorities list. But with Cook likely set to receive a sizable contract, which could be his last big one, time will tell if the Raiders truly want the 31-year-old back amid their rebuild.
